D= 0.299 R+ 0.587 G+ 0.114 B
converting the images in the self-built data set into a gray level histogram, wherein the gray level of the pixel falls between 100 and 200, and details cannot be highlighted; correcting the gray level of the pixel in the image by gray level histogram equalization; a formula of the gray level histogram equalization is as follows:

4 . The fabric defect detection method according to claim 3 , wherein step 4 comprises:
conducting visualizing intermediate activation, and visually displaying the feature maps output by each of the four convolutional layers and the four max-pooling layers in a R-CNN to verify a training situation of the network; wherein the visualizing intermediate activation is conducive to displaying characteristics of false positive and false negative samples to better debug the R-CNN model; setting “batch_size” to 8, such that the R-CNN model selects batches of data each time during the training to allow processing to improve a training speed; and training the R-CNN model for fabric defect detection with a preprocessed self-built data set obtained in step 2 until the loss function reaches an optimal degree of convergence; and testing the R-CNN model for fabric defect detection on the four different testing data sets.
5 . The fabric defect detection method according to claim 4 , wherein step 5 comprises:
outputting a probability that a predicted image is a defect function through sigmoid using the fully connected layer 2 of the R-CNN for fabric defect detection, and mapping the probability to a binary classification, wherein a defective sample is defined as a positive sample P; two types of samples, false negative (FN) and false positive (FP) are generated; in an actual industrial environment, a number of fabrics with defects is much smaller than a number of fabrics without defects during mass production, that is, a number of positive samples P is much smaller than a number of negative samples N; a larger number of positive samples P and negative samples N that need to be manually reviewed and verified means a greater cost in manual review and verification; and a test result shows that the FN samples provided by an R-CNN network classifier for fabric defect detection are mostly close to a classification threshold, and an FN sample higher than the classification threshold is classified as a defective sample; after the classification threshold reduction is conducted, FN samples classified as non-defective samples by a detection system are reclassified as the defective samples to reduce an occurrence frequency of the FN samples; the reclassifying is conducted to better divide positive and negative categories of fabric samples and reduce the cost of manual review.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
